The police were thinking of putting an end to a fight or a violent robbery committed by three men against a fifty-year-old man. It was in fact three young men, including two 17-year-old minors, who had just ambushed a man via the Coco dating site. In the Nord department, in Grande-Synthe, a 22-year-old young man was beaten to death by two minors aged 14 and 15 in mid-April. They had set a trap for the victim via the same website.
Around 9:15 p.m. on Friday, the police were called to a brawl in rue Chevreuil, in Maisons-Alfort. One of the protagonists is armed with a telescopic baton. Four people are fighting. They separate all these little people.
The three young people explain that they set a trap for him
There, three young men, two aged 17 and one aged 18, simply explain that they set a trap for the fourth, a resident of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, by posing as a 14-year-old girl on this social network. These three residents of the town arranged to meet him not far from their homes.
Placed in police custody for corruption of a minor, the 55-year-old man admits to having made an appointment on this site but with a 30-year-old woman. However, on her phone, the fake teenager explained that she was a minor, without further details.
The three friends admitted to having set up this scheme to attack pedophiles. All three were released with summons to appear in court. As for the fifty-year-old, he was released without legal proceedings, due to the lack of elements to characterize the facts.
